The lyrics describe a young man who can't stop dancing and he
encourages others to do the same: 'Cut Footloose' as the chorus suggests. Also,
to kick off one's Sunday shoes, presumably because they are not suited for
celebratory dancing.

Well, I wrote the Governor of Virginia a letter as requested by
Adrian Whitcomb('67
- of VA) in your NNHS
Newsletter titled, "Who's
Sorry Now?" ' Who' will be Governor McDonnell, if he
doesn't keep Fort Monroe in
its entirety.

Fort Monroe is special to me since mine andJoan's (Dinwiddie
Smith - '63 - of VA) dad, Richard Gordon Dinwiddie and his
identical twin brother Robert, were born in a case mate on
September 28th, 1912...over a hundred years now. Daddy was a righteous
man, but I can picture him sitting in the Governors office, giving the
Gov a History lesson that he had never heard before, if you know what I
mean...

As a member of the FFV, First Family of Virginia, I think the right to
add MORE than my two cents worth was called for and necessary !

Sandra Canepa
('56 - of VA) has kept me informed as to the goings on about this
matter, and frankly it has been going on way too long. This should have
been done when The Commonwealth of Virginia had a Governor that really
cared about the Commonwealth he governed. This Governor seems interested
only in the 'deep pockets' of those that helped him become Governor !
What a shame...the Rich History of Virginia deserves BETTER !

Come on, my Typhoon brothers and sisters...write this money grubbing
weasel of a Gov and let him have it ! United We Stand....Divided...Fort
Monroe will fall into the hands of those that care nothing of the
Commonwealth, but only about adding to their bank account.

I may live in North Carolina now, but my heart is still in
Virginia...shame the Gov into doing the RIGHT THING !

P.S. As for grits...I have acquaintances that moved here from up Nawth;
on their first trip to the grocery they each had to have a grocery cart
to be able to fill the pantry. The husband informed his wife that he
would be back in a few minutes, adding that he was going to look for
GRITS.

Now that they were in the South it would be necessary to have some
grits....

"OK," his
wife answered, "Bring me one !"

Yankees...you gotta love 'em
!

Thank
you so very much, Dimples ,
but, ah, why don't you tell us how you really feel?

I was 23 years old and
living at home with my parents in Missouri when I became inspired to
create my first vision board.

I was in between seasonal work and had a deep burning desire to move out
west to Montana. I didn't have much money and I had no idea how I could
afford the move or where I would find work when I got there.

Because I struggled with so much doubt as to how I could transform my
vision into a reality, I decided to create a vision board for my "Go
West Dream" - even though I really didn't have a clue as how to make
one. I cut out photos of myself and glued them on top of images of a
cabin in the mountains.

I also cut out images of me doing my ideal work as well as images of me
surrounded by new friends. I remember looking at my vision board daily
and yearning for my dream to come true.
And much to my excitement and surprise every one of my dreams on that
vision board did come to pass.

With just a few hundred dollars in savings I decided that there never
would be a perfect time for my move - so I rented a U-haul and went
west. Miraculously, everything fell into place. I got a job that had
only become available one week prior to my moving to Montana and was
hired on the spot.

I found a place to live in a town that had very limited rental housing
at the time. Not only that but I found my "dream cabin" in the mountains
surrounded by thousands of acres of hills, forests, streams and
wildlife. I never in my wildest dreams could have orchestrated these
events so perfectly.

I can whole-heartedly attest to the power of vision boards. Put quite
simply, a vision board contains images of you achieving the things you
want to achieve, doing the things you want to do and living the life you
yearn to live.

Here're 4 simple steps you can take to make a vision board...

1. Indulge in
daydreaming.
Before you begin collecting images for your vision board spend some time
imagining the kind of dreams that you want to achieve in the next 12
months (I like to create vision boards for a year at time, but you can
create a vision board for any desired time frame).

And you can create vision boards anytime throughout the year -- not just
at the beginning of the year.

I'll also create smaller vision boards throughout the year for a
specific goal that I'm working on (for example, if I'm training for a
half marathon or leading a live two-day event).

Create an inspiring atmosphere for your initial daydreaming/visioning
session. You might want to light a candle or play some soft music. Give
yourself full permission to be a kid again and to daydream about
everything you'd love to achieve in the next 12 months.

If physical activity stimulates your creativity you might also consider
going for a hike, walk or run. If you have animals that you are attached
to and that inspire you like horses or dogs you might want to spend some
time with them.

The bottom line is to go someplace that makes you feel inspired and
supports you in tapping into your creativity.

2. Capture your
inspirational insights in a journal.
After you've spent some time dreaming, capture your ideas in your
journal.

A great way to stimulate additional ideas and dreams is to ask yourself,
"If I could achieve anything in the next 12 months what would I love to
achieve?" Or, "What would I love to achieve -- if only I believed it
were possible for me to achieve it?"

You can also challenge yourself to list out 30 dreams that you'd love to
accomplish in the next 12 months and see what ideas come to mind for
you.

After you've finished journaling review your dreams and decide which
ones resonate the strongest for you. Hint: Make sure you only choose
dreams that truly resonate -- not ones that you feel like you should
accomplish.

3. Gather supplies
and collect images.
To create your vision board you'll need to get some foam core board,
scissors, glue stick, tape and lots of magazines with inspiring images.
You can often find used magazines at your local library or Good Will
store.

Another alternative for finding images to include on your vision board
is to use the internet. Simply type in the name for the kinds of images
you are searching for and make sure you include the word "image". For
example, if you're looking for images of houses you would type in the
word "house images."

You'll get search results for hundreds of free images. Once you find
something you like simply cut and paste it into a Word document and then
print them out (this way you can include 4 or 5 images on a page).

I personally like to fill my entire vision board so that there is very
little white space remaining. I also make sure to include images of both
my business and personal goals.

4. Create an
inspiring atmosphere while working on your vision board.
I'll often play soft music or light a candle. I make sure to work on my
vision board when I have at least an hour or two of uninterrupted time
so that I can completely immerse myself in the process.

Do you have any great stories about vision board dreams that became a
reality? I'd love to hear about them!

sure you include in your vision board!

Ralph and Bob went bear
hunting in Montana. While Ralph stayed in the cabin, Bob went out
looking for a bear. He soon found a huge bear, shot at it but only
wounded it. The enraged bear charged toward him. His rifle jammed, so he
dropped it and started running for the cabin as fast as he could.

Now Bob was pretty fleet of foot, but the bear was just a little faster
and gained on him with every step. Just as Bob reached the open cabin
door, he tripped and fell flat. Too close behind to stop, the bear
tripped over him and went rolling into the cabin.

Bob jumped up, closed the cabin door and yelled to his friend inside,
"You skin this one while I go and get another!"

I been working so hard
Keep punching my card
Eight hours, for what?
Oh, tell me what I got
I get this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Tonight I gotta cut
(Chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
You're yearning, burning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You can fly if you'd only cut
(Chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Oowhee, Marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, Milo
C'mon, c'mon let go
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
FIRST - we got to turn you around
SECOND - You put your feet on the ground
THIRD - Now take a hold of your soul
FOUR - Whooooooooa, I'm turning it
Loose, FOOTLOOSE
(Chorus)
